Bank Robbers Foiled, But Make Movie Debut Thursday April 8 8:35 AM ET dailynews.yahoo.com CALGARY (Reuters) - A pair of bank robbers trying to make off with their loot were foiled Wednesday when they crashed their getaway car on a residential street that was being used as a set for a Hollywood film. Police said the men were speeding away following the morning heist at a Calgary bank when they realized they were being tailed by a squad car and tried to duck away into an upscale neighborhood. Moments later, members of the production crew shooting the film on one of the tree-lined streets were shocked when the robbers' car smashed head-on into a police van that had driven onto the set, and damaged movie trailers. ''When I first came on the scene, I didn't know if the damage was part of the movie or something that was involved in this arrest. Apparently it was involved in the arrest,'' Calgary Police Inspector John McFadden told local television. The Canadian city's Mount Royal neighborhood is being used to portray Syracuse, New York, for a Paramount/Nickelodeon comedy called ''Snow Day'' starring Chevy Chase and Pam Grier. A car chase is not in the script, however. The suspects, one of whom suffered minor injuries, were arrested at the scene. An undisclosed amount of cash was recovered in the trunk of the car.
